Annette Road area Liveable Neighbourhood
Have your say on how we can improve the Annette Road area
Our public consultation on the Annette Road area Liveable Neighbourhood runs from Wednesday 18 June to Sunday, 3 August 2025
As part of our efforts to create a cleaner, greener, and healthier borough we want to create a liveable neighbourhood in the Annette Road area.
The liveable neighbourhood will create pleasant and animated streets, where communities can come together to spend time with their neighbours, support local shops and children can play and travel safely. With more greening including plants and trees, improved pavements for those walking, wheeling and using buggies, and reduced traffic volumes, the liveable neighbourhood will transform streets across the scheme area. You can read more about liveable neighbourhoods here.
Having listened carefully to what you have told us during the engagement that ran in summer 2024, we are now presenting our final draft proposals for the Annette Road area Liveable Neighbourhood.
On this page you can find out how you can give us your feedback on our proposals for improving streets and public spaces in the area, by:
- commenting on our consultation proposals by completing our survey
- registering to attend one of our public events.
